directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Slice the eggplants lengthwise into long, 1/4-inch strips.
  • Use 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to season both sides.
  • Place the strips on a nonstick or greased baking sheet; bake for 5-7 minutes on each side.
  • You may also grill the vegetable strips.
  • Decrease oven temperature to 350°.
  • With a fork, mix together the ricotta, egg white, chives, and remaining salt and pepper.
  • Spread 1 1/2 cups of the pasta sauce on the bottom of an oblong dish, about 13 x 9 inches.
  • Then place a single layer of vegetables on top.
  • Evenly spread half the ricotta mixture on top of the vegetables.
  • Place another layer of vegetables on that, and the remaining ricotta, and top with the remaining vegetables.
  • Cover with the remaining sauce, then evenly distribute the mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil for the last 5-10 minutes.

  1. The flavor of this dish was excellent. The ricotta mixture was grainy for some reason, but still tasted good. Not sure this will replace my favorite lasagna with pasta, but is a good healthier choice.
     
  2. I had a very large eggplant so it was perfect with this recipe. I omitted the salt and pepper. I used 400 g of ricotta. I used green onion instead of chives. I used homemade spaghetti sauce. It's even better than a lasagna with pasta. Thanks ratherbeswimmin :) Made for New Kids on the Block tag game
